Even in my Onitsuka Tigers my feet could be mistaken for solid lead.

Performance cars were meant to be driven hard, and I never keep them long enough to worry about the long term consequences of doing so.

That said, does anyone want to buy a 348 Ferrari or a 2004 Impreza WRX? One careful owner, never driven hard....Oops

i spend most of my time in urban areas  so i can't/won't. my average speed over the last 1600 miles is 21mph! that includes a couple of runs to Manchester (snake pass, ace when clear - ish)  and about 100 motorway miles.

with a 1.4 litre mk3 drivin hard isnt a possibility. its hard to drive tho with slammed suspension, 17" wheels and no power steerin! il blame that for my big forearms  :wink:

the max speed here is only 35 tho so fast cars are waisted here, doesnt stop most tho. A guy just imported a db9 the other day. was payin for petrol when he turned up wit a briefcase full of cash to pay for it. the guy was 27!!!!!!!

BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

harder than the hard and hard as hard can get :P

depends, my mates with golf like cruising places i prefer to go fast, but i think i know my limits and stick within them. its hard to drive properly hard nowadays with all the crappy speed cameras, traffic calming and old folk!! :laugh:
